Robert Taylor photographed Saturday night’s “Supermoon” from Davidson Landing. The first was shot at 9:08pm, right after moonrise, when the moon had a reddish hue. (Robert Taylor photo)
Saturday night’s clear sky offered provided the perfect backdrop to view the moon at perigee – its closest point to earth. Headline writers (us too!) call it a Supermoon. Davidson Landing resident Robert Taylor was out with his camera to record the scene.
Experts tell us the Supermoon was one of five this year. The next will be Aug. 10 and Sept. 9. (See July 12, 2014, EarthSky.org, “What is a supermoon?”)

A second photo a little over an hour later (around 10pm) capture the Supermoon as it climbed higher. (Robert Taylor photo)
